While the series originated in Australia, it was primarily funded by UK broadcasting partner Channel 5 since it began airing on the network in 2008. When Channel 5 pulled its funding in early 2022 (to focus on more original content), the series sought a new home and was picked up by Freevee (fka IMDb TV, Amazon's free streaming hub).
Set in the fictional suburb of Erinsborough, Neighbours follows the lives of the residents of Ramsay Street, exploring the dramas, relationships and conflicts that arise among neighbors. The series had notable stars as part of the cast like Margot Robbie, Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan and Guy Pearce.

Zimmerman Is An It-Girl's Bohemian Holiday Dream — These Are The Best 12 Pieces To Wear Now
It's no secret that Australian brand Zimmermann has holiday dressing sussed. Founded by sisters Nicky and Simone Zimmermann in 1991, the label has put easy, breezy bohemian dresses high on our packing lists ever since. Zimmermann's signature louche silhouettes, evocative cutouts and, perhaps most pointedly, its dreamy prints have made it the resort wear brand of choice for It-girls world over. You need to look no further to understand the brand's universal allure than a recent trip to Mykonos, where a set of global stars descended on the Greek island to toast the latest Zimmermann collection. Among those notable names wearing the brand from top-to-toe was Laura Harrier. 'Zimmermann just gets the fantasy of vacation,' the American actor tells ELLE UK. 'The pieces are feminine, elevated, and light enough to toss in a suitcase but still make you feel like the main character wherever you are.' 'Pack things that move,' Harrier says on the topic of packing like a pro. 'Anything that flows, flutters, or catches the light a little. Those are the pieces that make the moment feel cinematic.' She's right. Zimmermann's signature aesthetic comes most alive when worn in roomy silhouettes, whether silk chiffon evening dresses or sweet cotton two sets for the day. What's best about curating a holiday wardrobe from Zimmermann is the consistency of its collections, which means you can just continue to add and build your wardrobe like you do your holiday memories. Even if the brand's signature bohemian elegance isn't your usual thing, it's hard not to fall for it or consider it the ultimate switch off. Trying on a new guise is an easy way to side step out of your usual life and into something all the more relaxed. If this is the summer you signal your first foray into the world of Zimmermann then here's where to begin. Laura's favourite? 'A floor-length black dress I wore one night —sleeveless, super fluid, and it felt very Grecian goddess. The silhouette was so simple but powerful, and the way it moved in the wind by the water… it was giving drama without trying too hard. Definitely my favourite moment.' Freelancer

This action-crime series just crashed the Prime Video top 10 — and now's the perfect time to binge-watch
Sometimes shows enter Prime Video's top 10 for reasons beyond being new. For example, the 2018 spy thriller 'Condor' recently surged in popularity as it's about to leave the streaming service. Similarly, the action-crime series 'Blue Ridge' (released in 2024) is climbing the charts because season 2 recently dropped. At the time of writing, it's sitting in the No. 9 spot, just behind the recent drama 'Motorheads.' 'Blue Ridge' (the series) is actually a continuation that takes place after the events of the 2020 movie of the same name. It picks up the story of Sheriff Justin Wise as he faces new challenges in the same Appalachian setting, expanding on characters and plotlines that have already been introduced. So it's essentially moved the story forward into a serialized format. Season 2 actually premiered yesterday (June 22) on the Western Bound channel, making this the perfect time to stream the first season on Prime Video. However, if you need more context before adding it to your watchlist, here's everything to know about 'Blue Ridge.' 'Blue Ridge' follows Sheriff Justin Wise (Johnathon Schaech), a former Green Beret who takes on law enforcement in a small Appalachian town after moving there to be closer to his ex-wife, Elli (Sarah Lancaster), and daughter, Maddie (Taegen Burns). Shortly after his arrival, the local police station is mysteriously burned down, and he quickly discovers the town is riddled with crime, corruption, and violence. He works closely with his deputies, Maxx (Avianna Mynhier) and RP (Greg Perrow), to tackle those violent crimes and escalating threats. Throughout six episodes, each case pushes Justin's resolve as he strives to protect Blue Ridge and bring justice to the community. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. 'Blue Ridge' is one of those background shows that's super easy to watch (or even just listen to), but it's not essential viewing, given there are so many more shows that are worth your time. This action-crime drama isn't the flashiest show out there, but that doesn't mean you should totally avoid it. It's still got a solid mix of suspense and family drama that makes it surprisingly easy to get hooked on. You don't need to have seen the 2020 movie to watch the series either. It works as a standalone story, reintroducing Sheriff Justin Wise and his world in a way that new viewers can easily follow. While the show continues from where the movie left off (with some returning characters and backstory) it doesn't rely on the movie for context. Any important details are re-established early on. At its core, 'Blue Ridge' follows a sheriff who's fresh in town, trying to clean up a community tangled in crime and corruption. What makes it appealing is its unpretentious quality, the kind of show where you really get a sense of place, thanks to the Appalachian mountain setting, and a cast of characters who feel real, with flaws and all. It's not a high-octane thriller with explosions, but it does keep the tension simmering just right, episode after episode. Season 2 is now streaming, which means there's plenty of new content if you binge the first six episodes. The mysteries and cases are mostly self-contained, making it easy to jump in without feeling lost, yet there's enough ongoing story with the sheriff's family and the local crime boss to keep things interesting. Of course, it's not perfect, and doesn't match the level of quality you'd see in a Netflix original. Some of the dialogue can lean a bit on the cliché side, and the pacing isn't lightning fast. But if you like shows with a slower burn and a fun mix of crime-solving plus personal drama, it's a good pick. So, if you enjoy small-town crime dramas with a Western vibe and don't mind a bit of predictability, I'd say the 'Blue Ridge' series is worth watching. It's a quieter kind of thrill that might just surprise you, and sometimes all you need is an easy binge-watch. Stream 'Blue Ridge: The Series' season 1 on Prime Video now. You can watch season 2 on the Western Bound channel.

I skipped Fallout 76 at launch — here's why I finally gave it a shot in 2025 (and you should too)
I love Fallout. Exploring a vast, post-apocalyptic wasteland filled with horrible enemies has always brought a smile to my face. I'm also prone to getting addicted to online looter shooter games like Destiny 2 and I even got sucked into The First Descendent. So when Fallout 76 came out, it should have been the game for me. But based on the negativity from Fallout fans when it launched, I passed. Now, it's 2025, and the game has been chugging along since 2018. It's had hours and hours of content added to it, and it's become closer to the Fallout experience I always hoped it could be. It doesn't have as much personality as the numbered Fallout games (and New Vegas), but it has one key factor that keeps me coming back: it's incredibly fun. Is 2025 finally the perfect time to lose yourself in the Appalachian wasteland? I think it just might be, and here's why. For me, one of the biggest reasons to jump back into Fallout 76 is the value. Because the game is a few years old, you can get it for cheap most of the time. Even at full price, the game is $39 on Steam, PlayStation and Xbox. It's on Game Pass and can often be picked up on sale, either from the first-party platform store or from retailers like Amazon. I've been primarily playing through Game Pass, as I have an active subscription. The ridiculous number of quests and vast wilderness available to explore make it feel like a game that should cost a lot more. I've played more than 40 hours of the game in a few weeks, and it feels like there are a million more quests for me to do and powerful items to find. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. And then there's the building mechanics... Fallout 76 offers a lot of content for the price. You can spend hundreds of hours exploring the wastelands if you like the game, so you'll certainly get your money's available on: Xbox and PlayStation I was a little worried that Fallout 76 might not be fun without a group of friends to play with. My normal group of looter shooter friends has dispersed between various games, with a few still hanging onto Destiny 2. Getting them to try Fallout 76 was a no-go, so it was just me rolling solo (and playing with randoms). Fortunately, after grinding my way past level 50, I can say that I'm having a blast without friends. Friends or not, the core loop of shooting enemies, looting their corpses and leveling up your character is fun and addictive, which is what you want to see from a game like Fallout 76. Whether you play a V.A.T.S. character or one who sprays all over the place, there's a lot of fun to be had in Bethesda's semi-MMO version of Fallout. While the Bethesda game may not have the official Steam Deck badge, in my experience, the game works just fine. And best of all, you don't need to do anything crazy with the settings to get it working. All I did was install the game and launch it. No startup tweaks and no crazy settings to change. Just run it and go. It's not perfect — the frame rate is lower than a traditional gaming PC or console, but the fact that I can play my current looter-shooter addiction while my family does other stuff with the TV is amazing. Now, if only there were a way to transfer characters between platforms (there isn't and probably never will be). Bethesda offers a quality of life (QOL) subscription for Fallout 76 that provides things like scrap and ammo storage, preventing you from having to deal with the headache of encumbrance as much. It costs $99.99 per year or $12.99 per month. I signed up for a month, and it's great to have if you're playing a ton of the game. However, I played all the way to level 50 without it, and it was fine. Will I keep my subscription after the first month? Probably, because I'm incredibly addicted to the game and I like the QOL changes. But I could also live without it, and I think you can, too. I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm late to the Fallout 76 party. Players around the world have already known how good the game was for some time, and I'm just walking in like a beginner trying to tell people the game is good. Are there bugs? Sure. Does it crash occasionally? Of course, it's a Bethesda game. Do any of those things stop me from loving the game and wanting to finish this article to play more of it? Not even close.
